They Know we are not a Criminal Threat

Quote of the Day

While we acknowledge more guns pose a greater threat to our communities, CPL holders tend to be responsible gun owners.

More Washingtonians than ever have a concealed carry license

In response, Dave Workman said: Somebody Finally Admits It!

At the highest levels the anti-gun people know CPL gun owners are not a threat to society. But they want us disarmed anyway.

Respond appropriately.

  1. It is culture war and gun owners are the other. Threat profile is irrelevant.

    As to the data, I have a WA CCW and don’t live there. WA is shall issue for non-residents too. No idea what roadblocks King County throws up. Mine is from Walla Walla and customer service is very good.

  3. CPL* holders are not a threat to society. We’re a threat to criminals and tyrants.

    People who would ban and control guns are usually one or the other, if not both.

    ———
    * – Or whatever your state calls it. CPL, CHL, CHP, CWP, CCW, DWP, etc.

  4. “While we acknowledge more guns pose a greater threat to our communities, CPL holders tend to be responsible gun owners.”
    Top sentence; lie. (Thank you, Dr. Lott.)
    Bottom sentence;
    Just now getting around to admitting that which is and has been common knowledge?
    As are 99% of all gun owners. Only a small fraction of gun ownership is used in criminal acts. And if Renee could be honest (which she can’t) she would admit that and go get a real job.
    But, commies got to commie (lie) no matter where or in what circumstance they find themselves.
    Gun controls problem now is what happens if Trumps DC deployment stunt actually works? And cleans up the streets? Proving up on the call to remove criminals and leave the rest of us alone with our guns?
    This has always been a glaring crack in gun_control.org’s armor.
    Glad to see light shining through.

    • “While we acknowledge more guns [in the hands of persons with bad minds] pose a greater threat to our communities”

      We may yet get to the heart of the matter when the disarmament and disorder totalitarians actually admit to the truth of the bracketed words that describe the actual source of gun (and knife and club and fist and foot and car and truck) crime against unarmed innocents.
      I would not have expected even one leftist to say what Renée Hopkins said, but we live in what Joe refers to as interesting times.

      • Ya, had a Brit in my house a couple months ago. He wanted to go after me so bad about the gun I carry all the time.
        Oh, I was laying in the bushes just waiting for him to open his yap.
        His blood pressure spiked upward hard when I told him how much I admired Putin. But I just couldn’t quite get him to pop-off. I must be losing my touch.
        I think my niece warned him off before they got here.
        Damn, that was going to be such a good time!
        The liberals really are having a hard time these days.
        Interesting times indeed!

  5. Of course they know we’re not a “criminal threat”. The armed free citizenry however are a ‘political threat’ as Mao’s dictum: “Political Power grows from the barrel of a gun. Our Principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.” is well known, and the power hungry politician can’t abide a peonage that can tell them to go to hell, and facilitate their journey.

    • Thanks for filling in the rest of Mao’s dictum for us. I’ve never heard it all.
      Even though hearing the first sentence pretty much says it all. Hearing the rest gives it that full communist flavor. And brings it home to expose all tyrants for what they truly are.
      Well done sir!

      • That’s not the whole quotation either, but it does clarify that people should understand that gun control is not to control guns, but people.

        I am not a Marxist. I am, however, a student of Sun Tzu’s works, and understand his dictum about knowing your enemy as well as yourself.

        • In proximity to that quotation, is there anything about the party being the state? I’m thinking of Mussolini’s famous quote, “Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”
          In a totalitarian state, the government controls not just the political sphere, but also the economy, culture, and individual lives. Everything the Totalitarian States known as Communistic seek to control, and in almost precisely the same ways.

          How the totalitarianism of Fascism is distinguishable from the totalitarianism of communism I do not know.
          People have attempted to make a distinction but have failed to do so beyond describing mere window dressing like “the enemy of the state is an ethnicity rather than a class”, and “the Fascists had snazzier uniforms” (the Hugo Boss definition).

          • Thanks Joe!
            “While it is true that not all gun-grabbers are Marxist every communist must grasp the truth… And it is for this reason that every gun-grabber must be suspected and carefully examined for communist intentions.—Joe]”
            I especially liked this part;
            “The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism. We shall create a democratic republic.”
            Mao.
            Now go listen to congress and the media of today.
            And we keep thinking they were working toward communism. When they were communists all along trying to create what we have today!
            Too funny!
